Roger Ebert says,
For me, “Floating Weeds” (1959) is like a familiar piece of music that I can turn to for reassurance and consolation. It is so atmospheric--so evocative of a quiet fishing village during a hot and muggy summer--that it envelops me. Its characters are like neighbors. It isn't a sad story; the central character is an actor with a healthy ego, who has tried to arrange his life according to his own liking and finds to his amazement that other people have wills of their own. He is funny, wrong-headed and finally touching.Classic Art Films says,
Subtle, lyrical, and delicately bittersweet, Floating Weeds offers an excellent introduction to the cinema of Yasujiro Ozu —one of the greatest of all Japanese filmmakers, and until recently in the West, one of the least known.96% of Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it a positive review.
I've never had sake. Please post a drink to your blog and join us at the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering.

...we all can use reassurance and consolation these days.
ReplyDeletesounds good thanks sake is an acquired taste or at least for me it was-I have a couple sets of the little sake cups and server mostly because they are beautiful
ReplyDeleteHappy T
I've never had sake either.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like this movie. Only time I'd have sake is when we'd go to a Japanese restaurant, and I always had it warm. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteJapanese film classics are amazing. I'm especially fond of the films of Akira Kurosawa, and also his autobiography. Not to mention Miazaki!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look for this.

Wow, must be good to be called one of the greatest films ever made 😁. Thanks for sharing and Happy T Tuesday! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThis movie looks like one I would like! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,

The accolades are superb. I had sake once in a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles. I didn't care for it. You might because you like wine. Thanks for sharing this film and the sake drinkers with us for T this Tuesday, dear.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an interesting movie and I just watched parts of it. I will return to is and watch it in full. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting. I notice there are only men enjoying the sake. I know women didn't have a very dominant role in society so I wonder if they drank sake with their friends. I think I need to watch this. Happy T day and happy March. Hope it was a good day.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of sake, but never had it. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great movie and I love the screen shot - so interesting. I have tried Sake a few times and never liked it. My daughter said they have cool flavored Sake now and it is better. Happy T-day!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love sake. It was so good when I was in Japan. Not the same in the US for some reason. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI've only had sake at the end of a Japanese meal. It was warm and I just knock it back.
ReplyDeleteThe movie sounds interesting.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,

I've had sake hot in Japanese restaurants, it is an acquired taste but goes well with the food. Happy belated T Day Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, this sounds good. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI haven't had time to watch this but I put it on my youtube list for later. I think Rick would like this, too. I like sake. I wouldn't drink it regularly and it does pack a punch (hence the small cups) but it does feel festive.
ReplyDeleteI started to watch but we are face timing my SIL soon so will have come back, Chrisx
